Mon, You got the same problem with a Phil. Coconut Authority manager here in Zamboanga City. He has been into coco-diesel for about 15 years now, and he cannot go into commercial production due to the DOE requirements. The tests are expensive. We were in a meeting with DOST-PCIERD requesting

Louie, You know once you start thinking about commercial production you will find all sorts of hurdles and blocks put in your way by big business and BIG Oil stooges in government. The idea is to discourage anyone who tries to think independently and make him toe the line, or tax it to death so
